Nice view up there.
“12 apostles + 4 evangelists (St Luke = steer, St Mark = lion, St John = eagle & St Matthew = angel) They, at least, are safe.”
The AP said the copper statues, each of them measuring around three metres, were lowered by a 100-metre crane, loaded onto a truck and taken for restoration in southwestern France.
Those 16 statues are not the only ones at Notre Dame.
The cathedral contains statues of 28 biblical kings, that at one point were mistaken for French kings and attacked for being idolatrous. Their fate is not currently known.
